Martinez steps up return but Rashford, Martial miss Man Utd training<\/h3>\n

Mason Greenwood has helped fire Getafe into the top half of La Liga in the opening months of his season-long loan from Manchester United. And Getafe president Angel Torres has no intention of losing the Red Devils forward at the end of his temporary spell amid intensifying transfer speculation.<\/p>\n

Greenwood left United for Spain on transfer deadline day after then-chief executive Richard Arnold made a U-turn on his decision to reintegrate him into Erik ten Hag’s squad.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag expected to have the 22-year-old at his disposal this season, but plans changed due to internal and external backlash.<\/p>\n

Greenwood has been gradually getting back up to speed at Getafe, scoring four goals and providing three assists in his first 13 appearances.<\/p>\n

His performances have reportedly caught the eye of a number of clubs across Europe, including Lazio and Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n

But Greenwood is said to be enjoying life in Madrid, and Getafe are keen to extend his stay beyond next summer.<\/p>\n

“With Greenwood, we are not only planning on him staying another year, but we also want to buy him,” club president Torres told Cadena SER.<\/p>\n

Greenwood is under contract at United until 2025, and Arnold’s recent departure has drawn questions over whether a new sporting department helmed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe will take a different stance.<\/p>\n

However, reports claim the Red Devils’ decision is final, and they will support the academy graduate in continuing his career elsewhere rather than handing him an opportunity at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

They will want to generate a transfer fee for Greenwood’s signature, though, and will have two more windows to do so after his Getafe loan.<\/p>\n

Greenwood may be happy in the Spanish capital, but interest from clubs regularly in European competition could turn his head as he looks to reach a similar level as before his January 2022 arrest.<\/p>\n
